Blue and XYl1itc OL 'I SCHO CEXTEXXIAL HIGI PN-if l950 History of Centennial I-iiuh lchool On September 4, 1922. a special meeting of the School Board was held to consider the question of erecting a new high school building. A committee was appointed to secure prices on a site for such a building. On October 6, 1922, at another special meeting of the Board, it was reported that a price of 330.000 had been placed on the Cartwright property, on which the Centennial High School now stands. At this meeting Superintendent Pierce was author- ized to procure plans from the State Department for the building to cost ap- proximately S125.000. On January S, 1923, it was decided to hold a sepcial election to ask the voters of the school district to give their consent to increase the indebtedness of the district by issuing bonds for 3126.700 for the purpose of erecting and furnishing a new high school building. On February 3, 1923, at a special meeting the Board ordered to be printed in pamphlet form a statement submitted by Superintendent Peirce as to the needs for a new building. A campaign was planned and carried out by which the pamphlets were distributed, meetings were held, the homes of the elect- ors were visited, and a parade of high school pupils was given. ln this parade were various floats. one representing the old red school. another the proposed new building, and another a single seat taken from the old high school study hall, in which were seated the two heaviest girls in the high school carrying a banner saying Please give us each a seat. The election was held on Febru- ary 20. and notwithstanding general prediction of the defeat of the bond issue, it was carried by a vote of 1353 to 296. Maurice E. Kessly K Company of Harrisburg were chosen as the archi- tects, and plans submitted by them were adopted in July. But when the bids on these plans were opened it was found that they were so far in excess of the funds at the disposal of the Board that the plans had to be revised. and it was not until fall that the building could be commenced. The general contract was given to the Hyde Murphy Company of Ridg- way, the heating, Ventilating, and plumbing to F. J. Eagen, and the electric wiring to the St. Mary's Electric Supply Company. The School Board, during the preparation for the construction of the building, had the following members: Mr. A. I.. Bell, president: Mr. C. li. Lockhart, vice-president: Mr. M. Schram, secretary: Honorable lf. H. Baird: Mr. M. P. Shanley and Mr. Milton VVood. The cornerstone was laid July 4, 1924, with appropriate ceremonies. in- cluding an address made by Honorable John S. Fisher, now governor of the state. About two months after the opening of the school term in the fall of 1924. the building was completed, and the high school was moved from its old quar- ters into the new. The total cost of the land, building and equipment was S212.000. Since the money was raised by the bond issue was but S126,500, the balance had to be paid out of current funds raised by taxation. This balance as well as 821.000 of the bonds, has already been paid off so that the school district now owes only 3105.500 on a property that is estimated to be worth a quarter of a mil- lion dollars.

I am a boy again. l work on the farm during the greater part of the year, and then for a few short months I am permitted to attend school. Let me give you a short des- cription of the school and of the school-house. It was the little old red building standing on a small piece of ground, selected, I think, because of a swamp on one side and rocks on the other. Certainly, goats could not have found a living there, but it was thought to be good enough on which to grow child- ren. Holes were in the floor and sometimes in the door. the windows, the ceiling, and too frequently in the walls. A large stove occupied the center of the room, and if the woodpile held out, and the teacher could get enough wood cut, we could, in very cold weather, keep the side of the body next to the stove fairly comfortable, even though the opposite side approached the freez- ing point. Labor was cheap, and once or twice during the term, the teacher would say something like this: If you older boys will bring your axes and chop that wood into stove lengths, I shall give you a day off, and I shall have some candy and some apples for you.'l Did they do it? You may answer. There were no lessons to make up. The apples were a lot better than the same kinds which any boy could have picked up in his own cellar. There was not a small boy in school who did not wish that he were an older boy too. The Friday afternoon l-the old fashioned spelling matches, the speeches which every one had to say whether he wanted to do so or not. Yes, I can recall some of mine at this late day, an evidence of the fact that what you learn when you are young, will remain with you, and will be for better or for worse. Aren't the little clears just too cute for anything, said some of the fond mammas who thought it worthwhile to spend an hour with their child- ren in the school. Let me quote for you the first few words from two or three of the writer's lirst attempts at oratory: Twinkle, twinkle, little star - The boy stood on the burning deck - VVhen I was a little boy, my mamma kept me in. but -. You know. or should know that we had a new teacher every year. That meant that we had to learn a sufficient number of speeches to last a year. After that, it was simply repetition. The teacher was hired because he was big enough to wield the rod with good effect. I am very well acquainted with eight boys who escaped lick- ings at school because their father always said something that sounded some- what like the following: If you boys get a whipping at school, you will get a harder one when you come home. These particular lads knew from pre- vious experience that these were no idle words. Such contact with the wood- shed was to be avoided at all cost. Those were days when fathers ruled the home. This particular father saw that every lad, here mentioned, did a certain amount of study five evenings of every week. He also saw that each one had sufficient work to exhaust the surplus energy, which, if not used wisely, might lead a boy in the wrong direction. Young people, compare those good old times with present conditions and then draw your own conclusions. 8 P M M EJ 57 CQ? Burn in Frxmklin, N.

After entertaining their friends and relatives for an hour and a half with their Commencement exercises, the class held their First party as high school students. This party was held in the gymnasium and was a great success. fear. Al- At the beginning of the next year we advanced upon the high school with though we had always looked forward to being there, now that the time had come, we were not so sure of ourselves. Our fears were ungrounded, however,.because only a few mis- takes were made and the teachers were not the ogres that we had pictured them to be. During this year two parties were held. The only big thing that occurred this year was a terrible inter-class fight. This was held during the last week of school and lasted for three days. In this battle the Seniors were opposed to the combined forces of the two underclasses. The iight was won by the underclassmen fwith the help of the Sophomores of coursej The generalship on both sides was fine and the forces were moved about like armies. This was the last fight because of injuries to some of the participants. After our all-too-short vacation, we returned for our junior year with enthusiasm so strong that it burned itself out in a few days. We were experienced by a former year's work, however, and it did not take us long to settle down to a more or less hard struggle. About the middle of the school year we met to select our class rings, which are the prettiest and most appropriate rings that have ever been purchased. VVe returned for our last year as dignified Seniors, surveying the underclassmen with lofty contempt. This year everyone entered into the work with an unprecedented zeal, because we realized that much hard work was before us, if we desired to have our diplomas at the end. Many class meetings were held this year to decide on our plans for graduation night. These meetings were conducted in a very satisfactory manner by President Richard Mer- cer. We decided to have a banquet before the graduation exercise, and after this to have our Senior Prom. These three years spent in High School have been very pleasant ones, and our rela- tion with the instructors have, on the whole, been of the best, and it is with mingled feel- ings of sorrow and joy that we must leave this noble hall of learning, To the future achievements of the Classof'30. HISTORIAN-RICHARD STARNER, '30 -..gf 25 PS-ff' I930 I Dl'0llh6CY Df tht? Cla!! Df I930 I had been living in Los Angeles for the past twelve years and in this time had not had a glimpse of my old home town. For this reason, in the summer of 1945, I decided to take an auto trip back home. When I arrived at the garage I met Frank Frederico who is a traveling salesman for Slesnick 81 jefkin. NVe talked for some time and then went on our way. My next classmate whom I met was Paul Fahey, who has a permanent job as Life Guard at Salt Lake City. He informed me that his bosom pal, Dan Dwyer, had secured a position teaching the South Sea Islanders how to swim. But what surprised me even more was the fact that Richard Mercer was serv- ing a ten year term for bigamy, having married Anna johnson and Miriam Golden within two weeks of each other. In Denver I met Helen Whelan, who had just returned from Reno, where, on the ground of wife-beating, had secured a divorce from Laverne Olson. Robert Taylor has taken for his life work the making of apologies. He has been so successful that the University of Denver has created a special depart- ment for this and appointed him as head of the department. In Cheyenne I attended a rodeo in which Franklin Reed was billed as the World's Champion Bronco-Buster. My own conclusion was that the experi- ence in driving the old Ford, has helped him much in his new occupation. I had a head-on collision with a truck in Omaha. The big driver got out and we were just about to tangle, when I called out his name. It was Rich- ard Starner. He told me that he was forced to drive a truck in his spare time so as to earn enough money to keep Ruth Klawuhun, his wife, in clothes. While I was traveling through Kansas City, I stopped ot? to watch a ball game. I thought I knew a player and a coach, so after the game, I went down to investigate. The player turned out to be Russell VVeston, and the coach was Paul Streich, who had obtained this position through his gift of gab . I arrived in St. Louis just in time to see Mary Giffi break the world's flag-pole sitting record for women. In a circus I recognized a fortune teller as Clare Wicks. She told me that her husband, Harry Tourtellott, forced her to pursue this occupation, and then spent all the money on drink. NVesley Nelson has broadened quite a bit and is the fat man in the same circus. Several of my classmates have moved to Chicago. W'illiam johnson has achieved notoriety, being known as the biggest and best banker in the city. Raymond Anderson, Carlton Anderson, Mary Anderson, Elizabeth johnson and Pearl Johnson are all in vaudeville where they are known as the Italian Quintette. I11 Cleveland, I ran short on money, and as my check was not acceptable, I intended to pawn my watch. I entered the pawn-shop and discovered the proprietor to be Mike Ziki. VVe had a long and friendly conversation which he brought to an end by offering me two dollars for my fifty dollar watch. Pittsburgh held no great surprise for me. However, Frank Pompey was the sports editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette while James Horning was the efficiency expert of the largest steel company in town. And then on to Ridgway. I stopped at the Valley Service Station to buy some gas and out came a short, bow-legged man whom I had no difficulty in -..-,gf 26 13..- I93O 'R 1 recognizing as Peter Niedzwecki. Pete told me that he was the owner of the station and had finally progressed to the point where he could repair major motor troubles. Glen Blakeslee, after many years of hard and faithful work, has been promoted to the managership of Kantar's store. Clarence johnson went to Mexico where he mastered the Spanish lang- uage so perfectly that he was recently elected President of Mexico. Virginia johnson is now teaching art in the Ridgway schools. Ralph States has improved his spelling so much that he is now the first grade spelling teacher. Carl Fitch went to Africa to hunt big game. james Daugherty, after trying for five years to get through his freshman year at Pitt, married Lillian Taylor, and is now the proud father of quad- ruplets. Richard Knecht and Chester Swanson are authors. Richard's latest book is entitled VVomen as I Have Known Them, while the title of Chester's is My Experience with Curling Irons. Martin Brehm and Eldon Leidwanger are both pianists. But after I heard Eldon playing, I was -forced to believe that his hair had more to do with it than his ability. Mack Weaver has become Justice of the Peace, and is known as the best dressed official in Ridgway. john Fay has grown a mustache, dyed his hair black, and is now taking john Gilbert's place in the talkies. Ida Heist gave Sl00,000 to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Homeless Cats. XVhen questioned by the reporters she replied, I did it for the kitties. - Gerald VVilson and Hazel Brunner are happily married and are living on Gerald's farm. Frederic Greiner has been sent to China as a missionery, taking along his ever faithful wife, Emelyn Larson. After investigation I learned that Grant Miles was spoken of as the Mental Marvel. It took him only five minutes to recite Bryant's Thana- topsis backwards. Elizabeth Smith is lecturing on the topic How to Keep That Slender Figure. While in town I received an invitation to a double wedding, one half of which failed to materialize. Donald Beck, the bridegroom, did not arrive. His bride-to-be, Gertrude Beugger, had an attack of fits, from which she never recovered. The other wedding went right on. Robert Zimmerman be- ing joined in holy wedlock with Martha Leilous by the Reverend Kenneth Bennett. Harriette Secor has made biology her life work and has finally learned to distinguish between the different orders of the insects. James Prindible and Anna Perry eloped in an airplane, which shed its wings over the Atlantic Ocean. And as they ended, so ends this. -ARNOLD SCHILK, '30. 27 SSIUEN qxpxx Bugpuodsauoo punog, aq mm 'SIUBIIISSEIJSAPV QLH 1l'10LlBHO.Il.l1 SJQQIUTIU 91.11 P-.fe l930 if i V it Desires of the Ieniorr' Richard Knecht ....,..., Gertrude Beugger .,....,,...... ...,.....,.

ROSALIND LAHR, '31 VV V THE RAJAH MYSTERY The door of Dr. Williamson's office opened, letting in a guest of wind and sleet. Three men came in from the dark, carrying an injured man on an improvised stretcher. Here's a patient for you, doctor, said one of the men, as Dr. VVilliamson arose and came forward. He made a swift examination, then straightened up and said, Broken leg, and possible internal injuries. Looks like an auto accident. That's right, said the first speaker. We found him on the Maysville road, about three miles from town. He was lying beside his car, a blue roadster. Evidently struck by another car when he got out on the road. He was- Here the door opened again, and, to our amazement, in came two more men, one of whom I recognized as the highway patrolman, carrying another wounded man! Found this man on the Maysville road five miles from here, said the nattily dressed young officer. Looks like a hit-and-run driver struck him. He had a blue roadster and was lying in the road beside it. The second patient now began to show signs of consciousness. He opened his eyes, looking dazed for a minute. Then with a quick motion he reached to his neck and pulled a small empty pouch from under his shirt. It's gone! he almost screamed. It's gone- Betty Williamson and I were as excited as two seventeen-year-old girls can be, at all these startling occurrences. Two men, possessing similar autos, were hurt in the same kind of accident near the same place and almost at the same time. Now this man cried out frantically, It's gone! What's gone? we all demanded. The emerald! The Rajah Emerald! Calm yourself man, ordered the doctor. Tell us all about it. it My name is Allen, began the patient, controlling himself with an effort. I was carrying this valuable emerald in the pouch around my neck. The stone comes from India and is called the Rajah. You all must have heard of this famous stone, which is said to cast an evil spell on those who possess it. It brought bad luck to me, all right. There were only a few people that knew of my possession of the emerald, I believe, for I had kept it carefully concealed. -as-if 40 P-ff I95O f V i t Tonight I was driving along when a car came from behind me and forced me off the road. I got out of the car and started toward the other car, which had stopped in front of me. Suddenly I saw this car back up, and it struck me before I could get out of the way. That was all I knew till I woke up here. just then the first patient began to come to. He was hurt must more seriously than Mr. Allen, and lay for a while without speaking. Finally he said, Where am I? , In Dr. Williamson's office at Kingsley. Were you run over by a car? Yes, he replied rather weakly. A car crowded me from the road. I went to the other car to find out whoclid it, but the car backed into me. By this time a large crowd had collected. Everyone was amazed by the unusual sim- iliarity of the two accidents. Mr. Allen looked thoughtful, and then said, What kind of car have you, Mr. Bell. A blue closed-in roadster. Mr. Allen struck his hands together. Exactly! he almost shouted, Our cars are alike. The men were evidently lying in wait for me, but thought that he was I. So they attacked him, and then, discovering their mistake, waited for me at a different place, leaving him lying there. Then, commented the police officer, all we have to do is to catch these men. The next day, the chief of police reported to Dr. Williamson that he expected to have the men behind bars before night. A man in Maysville had seen two men driving a closed sedan through the town around midnight, evidently headed for Corsica. a large city nearby. That morning, Betty and I went around to the office to find out whether any arrests had been made yet. Mr. Allen was able to be around, but of course Mr. Bell was still in bed with his broken leg. Betty wanted to talk to Mr. Bell and see if she could learn any- thing from him: therefore she asked to be allowed to take his lunch to him. About ten minutes later she came out of the room with a small desk pad in her hand. She glanced casually at it, then stopped and stared at it incredulously. She hurried over to her father. Daddy, she whispered, please come over to the garage with me. You too, Janet. And bring along that policeman outside the door. But, Betty, why- protested her father. Please, daddy! He came. When we reached the garage, Betty marched to Mr. Bell's blue roadster, which had been stored there, reached into a car pocket, and pulled out-the merald- The three of us gasped in unison. Then we demanded an explanation. Betty merely handed us the little desk pad I had noticed, on which had been written what was evi- dently a telegram. Here is what we saw: Mr. Gerald Peters, Maysville, N. Y. LAID UP THROUGH ACCIDENT AT KINGSLEY AND DISABLED HAVE FRACTURED RIGHT LEG WITH INTERVIEVV COULD GET DIFFERENT PRICES ON ROCK AUTO STORED LOCAL GARAGE WITH CONTRACT IN POCKET RIGHT FRONT. 41 Aff I 9 3 0 KS f' X ' ix I don't see any explanation there, said the policeman. scratching his bald head. That is Mr. Bell's telegram, replied Betty. Read the last word in each row, right down the line. ACCIDENT-DISABLED. LEG. GET-ROCK. GARAGE. POCKET, read the doctor. 'Rock' is the emerald of course. Betty, you're a wonder. I'm goin' right over and arrest that guy, announced the policeman, starting toward the office. Wait a minute, advised the doctor. He can't get away from you with a broken leg. What you should do is to arrest this man Peters that the telegram is addressed to. VVe'll see that your prisoner doesn't get away. Later, We went in a body to Mr. Bell's room and showed him the Rajah and the tele- gram. He turned pale for a minute, then gave a resigned sigh. I confess, he said slowly. I stole the emerald. I would have got away with it, too, if I hadn't given that girl the telegram. I thought she was too dumb to Hgure it out. It's every fourth word, you know. I lied about the time I was hurt. Everyone took it for granted that I was hurt first because I didn't say I wasn't. I drove the car that struck Allen, and robbed him of the Rajah. Then I was caught in the same trap myself. But I'm glad to get rid of the stone -it brought me bad luck all the time I had it. -MARGARET VAN AKEN, '31 VV V RAIN DROPS Rain drops dance on a roof of tin, Heavy footed rain drops make an awful din. That rain drops are happy I have no doubt For I hear them chuckling down the water spout. -HELEN WH ELAN, '30 VV V PHOTOGRAPHY During, the course of a life-time one often wonders if photography, especially when employed to portray human beings, is really necessary. This question was changed to a set conviction at my first solo picture. On that eventful day I left home in normal spirits and, happily, with no idea as to the terrors which were in store for me. Blithely entering the studio, I immediately discovered that I was in the clutches of a demon. One of his helpers quickly extracted me from my coat, another straightened my tie and pushed me into a little two by twice dressing room. No sooner had I entered through,one door than an arm was inserted through the -..ggi 42 E+..- P--1 l050 1 opposite one and I was jerked, by the head demon himself, into the main torture-room and firmly deposited on a not-too-secure piano stool. Then followed an eternity of twistings, first the neck, then the back and Finally the entire body, until I felt like some trained animal. There was no escape from this torment for, through it all, the fiend behind the camera kept me blinded and helpless by shining bright, vari-colored lights directly into my eyes. Finally he said That's All and I staggered from the room. Upon receiving the proofs of agony, we. being civilized, do not go mad or rave, but merely wander off to some lorkly spot, where we can vaguely mutter VVhat's the use? -JAMES PRINDIBLE, '30 v vv GETTING WAVED Did you ever have a permanent wave? If you haven't, you've missed a very exciting as well as tortuous experience. All of the girls seemed to be letting their hair grow out and, as one of the followers of fashion, I wanted to follow their example: but I knew I'd look like an Indian if I did, for my hair was as straight as nature could make it. One of my neighbors has a small waving set and she told me that she would give me a permanent wave for a very reasonable price. Friday night found me at the house where I was to he waved. I was in high spirits at the thought of having curls for a whileg but when I saw the apparatus which is used to bake in the curl, a very woeful look appeared on my face and my spirits sank to my shoe- soles. I felt like a condemned woman. A great number of wires hung over a chair. They seemed to be saying, Hal Ha! I'll soon have you in my clutches. Finally I sat down in the chair and the torture began. Mrs. Carberry put about thirty- Eve strips of prepared cloth into a bowl. From these a thick liquid, smelling not unlike the Clarion River, was produced. This she put on my hair. I sat in the chair from seven o'clock until eleven. During this time I frequently looked in the mirror. Such a sight as met my eyes! Long iron tubes stuck out from all sides of my head as if to protect it from all harm. This spectacle so unnerved me that I felt too weak to hold the mirrorg so I put it on the table because I didn't want to have seven years of bad luck. During the last hour I thought I might faint, go to sleep, or scream for help. Every once in a while the hot electric tubes which were used to bake the curls would burn through the soft pads. QA few weeks later I still possessed some very tender spots on my head.J When the job was finished, I went home and looked in the mirror. I had to look twice to see if it were really I. My head was a mass of tight, kinky curls which made me look like one of the daughters of Aunt jemina. I think the most wonderful thing about a permanent wave is that one has beautiful curly hair for at least six months, and curly hair is most girls' suppressed desire. ' MIRIAM GOLDEN. '30 -..,.,ggf 43 ig..- l950 fiil I' A FORGOTTEN RECORD Hammond was a Steeple-climber. He was a man who had trained and worked for years at this single task and had finally come to hold the world's championship. Out there was a time when Hammond happened to fall and had I not been there at the time he would now be a corpse instead of the world's champion steeple and flag-pole climber. Hammond was a man of singular build. He had an unusually large head with a high forehead, a long, hawk-like, high-bridged nose, two very large ears, and a huge mouth which stretched from ear to ear when he laughed. His long neck resembled a length of rope which seemed to hold his head to his short, heavy-set bodyg and his short bandy legs were away out of proportion to his great feet over which, strange to say, he never stumbled. Hammond was to put on an exhibition of flag-pole climbing at my home town of Whistletown about thirty years ago, so a number of people were grouped around the newly-built flag-pole in the city square. In order to relieve the strain on my neck caused by looking upward, I had stationed myself approximately one hundred yards away from the pole. Soon Hammond appeared, clad, as usual, in his old high school track suit, and began to climb and wi11d his way gracefully up the pole. He was, however, not to finish his climb. just as he was nearing the top, some black clouds, which had hovered far in the distance all afternoon as if waiting for such a chance, suddenly seemed to spring out and hid the sun, and in a few minutes it began to storm severely with Hammond up one hun- dred fifty feet on the slippery flag-pole. Slowly Hammond began to edge his way down- ward, but a flash of lightning and a sudden clap of thunder close by seemed to frighten him for he lost his grip on the pole. He clutched wildly at the pole and at space, but in vain. Then realizing that his attempts were futile, that his death knell was at hand, the wretch threw out his hands, and with a dreadful heart-rending shriek, fell. The crowd shuddered and turned away from the ghastly scene, and not a soul near the pole made a move to offer assistance to poor Hammond, so, rather than lose my best friend by such a horrible catastrophe, I quickly sprinted to the foot of the mast and caught the unlucky wretch ere death had time to Work its evil plan. My hundred yard dash to the foot of the pole was generally considered as the fastest run ever made by either man or animalg but, since it was not officially recorded, I was never given credit for my unusual speed. Both Hammond and I received movie contracts, however, and today the champion and I are residing comfortably together in Hollywood. PERRY SMITH, '31 VV V RIDING HORSEBACK Even when I was very small, I can remember my mother telling of my grandfather's horsemanship. She said that he seemed like a part of the horse when he rode, and that there wasn't a horse in his part of the country that he couldn't ride. I always thought that I had inherited some of my grandfather's skill, for I was a good performer on the merry-go-round. I never retreated shyly to one of the chariots, but boldly placed my left foot in the stirrup and then waited until the horse had started up the pole before I swung myself into the saddle with a flourish. When the merry-go-round left town I had to content myself with the broomstick or bannister. 5 44 I95O 4 '. I J 5 , I 1 ff Then came the day when my cousin got a real pony. He was a gentle old fellow, not much bigger than a dog, and we took advantage of his kind nature by performing all kinds of circus stunts. We never mounted in orthodox fashion, but did a leap frog into the saddle and were off. The little pony soon wore out, and I didn't have another chance to ride until our fam- ily went to the country a few summers later. You can imagine my delight when I saw two full grown farm horses grazing in the field. My sister and I picked out the meekest looking horse, and with her aid I scrambled to his back. The surprised creature didn't even wait for me to say giddap , but set off at a run for the barn. I had the farmer's family at my heels in full cry but my steed didn't whoa until he was in his own stall. I was helped from the horse in a weakened condition. but with my ambition to ride as strong as ever. It was after this experience that I learned that there are different kinds of horses: saddle horses, work horses, carriage horses, race horses, and saw horses. I never again tackled a farm horse, but it was a long time before I found a saddle horse. One summer while camping I discovered some horses for hire, and the whole camp decided to take a ride. When all of the crowd had mounted there was nothing left for me but a large pony. The groom, noticing my appraising look, assured me that General was capable of carrying a person twice my size, but my weight wasn't worrying me, it was my legs, which hung down so far on either side of the pony that I was afraid I would trip him. The pony must have been aware of the funny picture we presented for he absolutely refused to leave the stable yard. At last, by means of sticks and stones the men Finally shooed him out on the road, but he would turn around and run back home. I-Ie usually succeeded in getting all the way into the stall with his head in the feed bin before he was stopped. After having been chased out four or five times, General decided to get rid of me once and for all. I-Ie went zig-zagging down the road and finally dashed across the sidewalk, upon a terrace and stopped dead. The man of the house, who was enjoying a paper on the front porch, hearing a slight commotion, looked up and saw me sitting there like Paul Revere waiting for the second lantern to appear. After posing for a length of time General turned and joggled me back to the stable for the last time. I had my latest riding experience this summer. We had planned a trip to Michigan and the outstanding feature of it was to be horse-back riding. We had engaged our horses before we discovered that our riding togs had not yet arrivedg so we had to forage for them. My roomy riding breeches, loaned to me by a generous stranger, were of a loud check and their fullness was gathered into graceful folds with safety pins. My boots, a sickly tan. which I had borrowed from the riding master, were cuffed, muddy, and out of shape, and several sizes too large. The only attractive thing in my csotume was a bright-colored scarf someone had hung about my neck. We next went to the stable to choose our horses. I chose Skipper, after I had delved deeply into his past and learned that he had never run away or thrown anyone. The first thing we learned to do was post. This would have been easier for me if I had better control over my boots. They persisted in clipping thru the stirrups every time I stood up. Finally I was left by myself to go around the track. We started out slowly enough, but desiring a little faster ride, I gave a few weak chicks only to have Skipper start up at full speed. I tried to post but couldn't get the rhythm, each time coming down with a thud in the saddle. When Skipper got half way around he decided to go out through the middle: this part was rough and uneven and he stumbled once and almost sent me over his head. I looked to see the riding-master in the distance jumping up and down and waving his arms. Skipper slowed down and came to a halt before him. I sat up so straight in the saddle that the riding-master thought I was a better rider than I was and decided to let me take the hurdles. I didn't want to disappoint himg so I said I'd try. I'm 4 5 Ea.- P5-f l930 'W X ,xx LAN glad I did because this was the most exciting part of the ride. The next day I suffered from charley horse, the usual consequences to an amateur cowboy. Before I had regained my usual good spirits I was inveigled into another ride. This time we had to ride without a groom. A small girl, who lived at the stables, offered to accompany us on her pony. The bridle path was beautiful. leading us through thick woods and along the short of Lake Michigan, but I had no time to enjoy the views. When we were a half mile from the stable I had made up my mind I would never get upon a horse again. The little girl helped me in this matter when she told me that my horse had been trained to be a bucking horse. He refused to have the reins tightened and would jerk them out of my hands. The other horses followed the bridle path, but mine chose to wend his way through the woods. while I held on with one hand and pushed branches away with the other. He would saunter along to suit himself until the other horses were out of sight. then with a loud neigh he would be off at a break-neck speed. I made no effort to stop him, but put all my strength into staying in the saddle. At last we had to go down a steep sand dune. I was told to straighten my legs out in frontg so I shut my eyes and did so. When I opened them Lake Michigan was before me. The lake seemed to put new spirit into my horse, for he set off at a gallop and soon passed the others. Suddenly a huge log loomed up before me. I felt the need of something more substantial than the reinsg so I dropped them in favor of the pommel, and negotiated the log in safety. The return trip seemed miles long, but at last we reached the stables. I slid to the ground and tottered over to the car, weak from fright and exhaustion. After summing up all my experiences with horses, I discovered that I have taken into consideration no one but my grandfather and his horsemanship and while I may have his love for horses, I am now convinced that I didn't inherit any of his ability to ride. I only hope that he has not regarded my efforts with too much disgust.

Q MARGARET VAN AKEN, '31 HI-Y CLUB This year the Hi-Y has been separated from the Girls' Tri-Hi. Instead of having joint meetings every Monday night, we have planned socials once a month. The club has undertaken a new plan for the program this year by following the pro- ject method. This method has proved very successful so far this year. We have numer- ous subjects and discuss each one from every possible angle until we have solved any question which might come up about it. . We are also planning to start new clubs in Brockway, johnsonburg and Wilcox. This, with our Gospel Team, will mean much towards the expansion part of our program. DEAN GARRISON, '31 THE HI-Y GOSPEL TEAM The Hi-Y Gospel Team which has been in existence for four years, has been doing good work this year in the surrounding communities. Other clubs encouraged by the success which the team has had, have also started similar groups. The members of the team this year are: Robert Taylor, chairman. Perry Smith, Sam- uel Gilliland, Sanford Secor, Keith Anderson, john Fay and Frederic Greiner. The team has taken charge of services in the M. E. Church of Ridgway, Warreti and Erie: also of the Presbyterian Church of Ridgway. Due to bad weather, the gospel team has not been able to go out as much as was expected. Mr. Victor Patterson, the advisor and founder of the team has worked hard to make it successful. It is due mainly to his encouragement and instructions that the team has been able to continue its work. , FREDERIC GREINER, '30 ,Stix i930 ,Q , i y .X ' X l, TRI-HI CLUB To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian Character. is the purpose of the Tri-Hi Club. This year, under the leadership of Miss Brown, the Tri-Hi got a good start in the work it is trying to carry out. Instead of meeting with the H1-Y, as we did last year, we are having separate meetings. but once a month the two clubs have their meetings to- gether. ' VVith an interesting program before them the members of the club are looking for- ward to a successful year. HARRIETTE SECOR, '30 THE BOY'S GLEE CLUB The Hoy's Glee Club got a good start this year and from the indications it is proh- able that it will make a good showing at Clarion. There are almost twice as many members in the club this year as there were last year. Our directress, Miss Sutton, will have ample material from which to pick those who will go to Clarion. Last year our representatives in the contest won First prize and we are expecting to do as well this year. Their work proves what a small group can do under skillful direction. The Boy's Quartette was composed of: Perry Smith, Francis Erickson. John Seeor, jack VanAken. The officers of the Glee Club are: President, Robert Taylor: Secretary and Treas- urer, Perry Smith. ROBERT TAYLOR, '30 GIRL'S CHORUS The Girl's Chorus is an organization which has been in existence for the last ten years.

Timmons, went through a very successful season that saw the Maroon and White colors fly triumphantly over five rivals, the biggest of these was Kane. That worldly monster, Fate, denied us victories over Sheffield and Brockway, rendering deadlocks to the Ridgway Elks on each occasion. Our boys merit praise in their three defeats because of the caliber of the teams played The entire team played credible football throughout the season and es- tablished a reputation of playing clean and hard. Captain Niedzwecki was probably the most outstanding member of tl1e team. Bus Angello's ability as a runner, punter, and passer, stamped him as a triple threat in every game. Sammy Gilliland, Mario Victor, Paul Fahey and many more deserve clue credit. Frank Frederico managed the team, assisted by Carl Fitch and Lavern Olson.

FOOTBALL JDTI AN AUSPICIOUS START After several weeks of hard practice, Ridgway High opened their football season at Falls Creek on September 28 and easily defeated the Jefferson County boys, 6-0. The EIk's all-around teamwork was far superior to that of Falls Creek High and was marked by the fine playing of Sammy Gilliland, Richard Starner, Bus Angello and Captain Niedzwecki. THE CAPITULATION OF EMPORIUM The following Saturday found the Ridgway Elks invading Nilco Field at Emporium. eager to even up an old score with the Red and White representatives of Emporium High. A hard fought battle ensued with Emporium High finally staggering before the numerous onslaughts of the Maroon and White warriors. A fifteen yard pass from Angello to Vic- tor, who snatched the oval out of the midst of several opposing players, insured R. H. S. 68 ,Y I IQSO f'x f ? Q I with another 6-0 victory. Numerous fumbles kept our team from scoring several more touchdowns. Ridgway's defensive maneuvers featured the exciting contest. Not a single first down could be registered by Emporium. ANOTHER IMPRESSIVE TRIUMPH Renovo High helped the Maroon and White to inaugurate their home season and were very enterprising during the early stages of the fracas by quickly taking a 6-0 lead that was only good for the first half. The Hi gridders reached their natural form as the game progressed and the continual hammering at the Cherry and White line weakened it considerable before the half ended. Starner and Captain Niedzwecki caused the downfall of Renovo soon after the start of the second half. Captain Niedzwecki caught one of Renovo's punts in mid-field and side-stepped his way to the enemy's 30-yard marker. Starner then scampered around left end for 15 more yards. Captain Niedzwecki raced around the port side terminal for the remaining distance and a score. A fake placement resulting in a forward pass from Angello to Wyant gave R. H. S. a 7-6 lead that was never headed. Further touchdowns by Captain Niedzwecki and Angello left the highly touted Renovo Hi eleven with nothing but a de- cisive 20-6 defeat. A large cheering section was on hand and under the leadership of R. Weston, Weaver and Duffee, put a lot of pep into the contest. WHAT I A big and powerful band of Sheffield VVolverines finally halted the victorious marches of the Maroon and White by handing them the short end of a 12-0 score. The Elks fought valiantly but the spirit and pep that characterized their previous games was lacking and consequently retarded their true power. Only once did Ridgway threaten to score and that opportunity came in the final minutes of play when Captain Niedzwecki carried one of Angello's heaves to Sheifield's 35 yard line. Another forward pass was incompleted as the game ended. Sammy Gilliland was the only Ridgway back to successfully dent the Wolverines' for- ward wall. SOMETHING NEW! A TIE! Our gridiron warriors met a Tartar in Brockway Hi this season. The Maroon and White were given a severe battle by the jefferson County boys and had to stage a thrilling last quarter rally to tie an annual rival, 13-13. Brockway probably displayed their best football of the season. Brockway annexed the lead in the initial quarter but a series of line plunges by Full- back Sammy Gilliland, placed the pigskin a few yards from the goal from which place Cap- tain Niedzwecki plowed through center for a score. Wyant snared Angello's forward for the extra point that sent the Elks into the lead, 7-6. The second half was hardly under way when Kroah, Brockway fullback, clipped Gilli- land from behind and deliberately kicked Eaton, Ridgway tackle, on the knee. Both boys were thus forced from the battle and this unsportsmanlike occurrence weakened our team to some extent. Reverse end runs aided the Red and Black eleven to regain the front, 13-7. The most exciting incident of the fracas resulted from the next play. Brockway kicked off and Harold Gray, substitute end, fumbled the ball. Mario Victor scooped it up and sped 55 yards down the side-lines, shaking off many would-be tacklers, only to have a Brockway lineman bring him down on the 13 yard stripe. The third period ended at this stage of the game. Bus Angello inaugurated the night cap by tossing a spiral to Wyant to deadlock the count. A line plunge for extra point failed, and with it went our hopes of victory. -A great goal line defense smothered Brockway's last bid for a touchdown, Ridgway takmg the ball on their three yard marker. Angello then punted from behind his goal line to mid-field. The contest ended with the pigskin in Ridgway's possession. -...,5f 69 EN.- P-if i930 A GOOD SHOWING The Ridgway High gridders were handed their second setback of the season on November Z, by a powerful Du Bois High team, 26-9. The Elks, outweighed considerably, went about their work with much zest and checked the visitors from running up a big count through their grit and bull-dog determination. From the second period until the final whistle, Ridgway gave the Du Bois boys a hard battle and succeeded in scoring a touchdown and a safety in the third quarter. Several times the Maroon and White led by Captain Niedzwecki drove deep in Du Bois territory only to be held for downs. A last quarter rush by Du Bois advanced the pigskin to the shadow of the R. H. S. goal but a Maroon and White line, apparently fused with a wall of steel, proved impregnable to the final thrust of the Black and VVhite outfit. Ridgway's points came in the third stanza. A Du Bois ball-toter was downed behind his own goal for our initial two points. Soon afterwards the Maroon and White colors were stationed on Du Bois' 15 yard stripe from which place Victor slipped through for a touch- down. Angello heaved a pass to Dwyer for the extra point. The Du Bois scores were made in the first and third sessions. The greater part of the contest was played in a steady down pour of rain, making the oval quite slippery. FINALLY TAMING THE KANE WOLVES A nine year jinx was neatly corralled at Kane on Armistice Day when a cooperative herd of Ridgway Elks outsped a fighting pack of Kane Wolves to earn a well deserved 7-Z victory. Captain Niedzwecki kept the Wolves in constant confusion with his dazzling dashes off tackle and around end plays. This 135 pounds of dynamite featured Ridgway's attack and it was this little bow-legged Polish lad that scored the only touchdown of the after- noon. He placed the ball over the final chalk mark after an elusive excursion through Kane in the opening quarter. This pretty gallop climaxed Ridgway's greatest sustained offensive drive of the season. Eighty yards were clicked off in about a dozen plays. An- gello passed to V. Weston for the extra point. Sammy Gilliland, a brother of the famous Bill and Bony was back at the full back position after recuperating from injuries received in the Brockway tilt and hammered his way through the hill-toppers' line for consistent gains. Bus Angello and Vint Weston also made frequent successful thrusts. Angello played a bang up game on the defense with his deadly tackling in backing up the line. The Elks' aerial attack was the most cleverly executed one seen on Kane's new grid- iron. Alert Ridgway backs intercepted no less than four Kane heaves. A trio of dumbles impeded the rush of both the teams somewhat. On first downs the Elks held the upper hand, 13-12. Ridgway displayed their superiority over Kane in all but the final period. The wildest and most exciting part of the fracas was ushered in at the start of the last stanza. Kane recovered a Ridgway fumble in mid-field and then began a hectic march towards the Elks' goal. A stubborn resistence recovered the ball for Ridgway on their 15 yard marker. A poor punt kept the ball in Ridgway's territory but the forward wall of the Maroon and White eleven once more demonstrated their defensive power by checking the Wolves' frantic plunges. Kane then scored a safety when Beatty tackled Angello be- hind the R. H. S. goal. Kane received Smith's free kicks on the 40. A last minute for- ward was attempted but Dwyer intercepted it at Ridgway's 17 yard line. Captain Niedz- wecki reeled off a first down as the game ended. And that's how Ridgway High gained her greatest football triumph of the year. A MORAL VICTORY A powerful Ridgway Hi eleven, endeavoring to even seasonal differences with the highly touted Sheffield aggregation on the West End field, was denied the fruits of a co- lossal touchdown by the ever present hand of fate and had to be content with a scoreless tie. The Maroon and White were continuously invading Orange and Black territory, but the tell tale punch seemed to fade when the zero hour approached. Despite the fact that 70 'l I! l93O L1 they failed to score on the Wolverines, Ridgway outplayed the Tanners so badly that they earned a moral victory. The Elks played such a strong game that Sheffield was not able to register more than one first down and that came in the last few minutes of the struggle when a fluke twelve yard pass was completed after the ball bounded off Sammy Gilliland's chest into the arms of Kolmt, VVolverine half-back. The Wolverines were so taken off their feet by the lighter Ridgway line that a three yard gain was considered remarkable for them. Not once did the Tanners get past the Elks' 40 yard line. They were constantly forced to punt. The running attack of the Maroon and White totaled eight first downs. One of the features of the gruelling battle was the great punting of Bus Angello, Ridgway's brilliant halfback. This stocky, black haired boy, sent many spirals deep into Wolverine territory. On two occasions the Tanners were forced to punt from behind their goal line because of Angello's long kicks. The Elks reached SheFfield's ten yard stripe soon after the start of the second half but the Wolverines braced and took the ball on downs. Ridgway's final threat, a long pass, Angello to Victor was almost completed for a score in the last quarter. Captain Niedzwecki continued his elusive sprinting and neat handling of punts and with Bus Angello, was the brightest star of the contest. The entire team deserved much credit for their distinguished feat of being the first team to decisively outplay the Wolver- ines. EASY GOING Coach Timmons' entire football squad saw service in easily defeating Sandy Township Hi, 26-O. The weather was far from being comfortable and kept the attendance down. Although Captain Niedzwecki played only two minutes of the final quarter, the team displayed much offensive vigor and, under the leadership of Bus Angello, tore Sandy's front wall to shreds to hang up a total of 22 first downs and four touchdowns. Many sub- stitutes were injected into the fray by Coach Timmons thus giving Sandy an opportunity to reach the Elks' 36 yard stripe through tricky aerial plays. Claude Johnson, guard, lost little time in snatching another Sandy heave out of the air and quickly carried it into the enemy's sector. The Elks' initial attack swept over Sandy's territory for 10 first downs that resulted in touchdowns being scored by Angello and Victor. Angello tallied again in the second quarter while Dick Mercer tore through Sandy's line for the final count. A SNOW BATTLE Ridgway High's moleskin warriors closed their 1929 season on the West End field by dropping a 6-0 decision to New Bethlehem High. Despite the severe cold, the largest crowd of the season was on hand to watch the hard fought encounter. Much snow cov- ered the frozen gridiron and hampered the opposing backfields in handling the pigskin. The intense cold and slippery condition of the oval caused frequent fumbles. One of these misplays gave the Clarion County gridders a golden opportunity to score. This break came in the second period when a Maroon and White back fumbled and New Bethlehem recovered. Shaffer, New Bethlehem fullback, broke through the center of Ridgway's line and galloped 18 yards for the only count of the melee. But for the second quarter, the lighter Elks practically held the New Bethlehem boys even. Captain Niedzwecki and his Maroons had few opportunities to score but on one occasion they worked the ball within New Bethlehem's 15 yard marker only to- have a fumble stop their goalward drive. Angello played his usual consistent game for Ridgway. It is with the utmost regret that the following lines must be written conveying the fact that Captain Peter Niedzwecki. Patil Fahey, Daniel Dwyer, Richard Eaton, Wesley Nel- son, Richard Mercer and Richard Starner have played their last football game under gyflaroon atndl White colors. These boys are real sports and their absence will be keenly e t next a . FRANK POMPEY, '30 -..gf 71 lg.-- 'EAM BOYS PLXSK ETB.-XLI. '1 RESERVES ON THE BENCH VARSITY FIVE .4 ,: CO Cd C .- 4-4 -4.

VVeston and Starner, answered an early call to Coach Timmons' basketball summons because the initial game was scheduled at Falls Creek on December 10. Indicating signs of likely looking material gave R. H. S. a promising outlook for a successful season. Three months of ups and downs followed. The Maroons made a great bid for the league bunting but the ha11d of Fate ruled otherwise as you will see in the chronicle ahead. Although the smallest quintet in the race, the Ridgway boys overcame this handicap somewhat by their tenacious, dashing and above all, their fighting qualities, which coupled with excellent all-around play, earned for them a third-place berth with Bradford High, each team winning ten and losing four. Ridgway High is very proud of her gallant little quintet and can say without exaggera- tion that her basketball representatives displayed the cleanest brand of play in this section. The curtain was rung down on March 7, with Kane High as the opponents on the Cen- tennial Court. It marked the passing of Captain Peter Niedzwecki, one of the greatest little athletes ever to wear the Maroon and Wfhite colors of R. H. S. Richard Starner and Richard Mercer were also lost to the squad for the coming year but Coach Timmons will be assured of bigger and faster material for his next campaign. All of the members of the first squad received a white They were: Captain Nied- zwecki, William McCloskey, Vincent NVeston, Richard Mercer, Richard Starner, Claude johnson, Charles Luty, Jr., and Frank Frederico. Student Manager Daniel Dwyer, was also awarded a letter. THEY'RE OFF! - NUMBER ONE A big, highly rated Sheffield High five invaded the Centennial Court to inaugurate the Section VII league race with Ridgway's speedy Elks. The Maroons displayed such a fast passing and shooting attack that the Wfolverines were soon helpless before the dashing, fighting Elk Countians. Peter Niedzwecki, whose tricky and nimble ways are always a source of anxiety to all opponents, caused Sheffield no little trouble and merely punctured the Tanners' defense for thirteen points. Vint Weston ably assisted him with ten counters. The Wolverines forged into a 9-6 lead at the end of the opening quarter but from then on they could not cope with Ridgway's onset and had to submit to a decisive 31-15 defeat. WHAT A GAME! It took a fighting band of Maroons to overhaul a powerful Bradford team with a mighty last minute scoring splurge to earn a great 26-23 victory. Bradford presented a fast working outfit that showed some line teamwork. The first half was all in Bradford's favor while the Maroons had considerable trouble in locating the net and consequently re- posed on the short end of a 15-8 score at the recess. The Elks entered the second half with a bulldog determination and amassed a grand total of eighteen points to conquer an over-confident five. Close guarding smothered the Oilers' scoring attempts. Starner, McCloskey and Weston were instrumental in Ridgway's exciting finish. Star- ner's final field goal settled the affair with seconds to play. A NEAT DRUBBING! Ridgway High's supposedly hard assignment in the Ludlow bandbox proved so in- viting to the Maroon sharpshooters that they bombarded the Ludlow Giants into an over- whelming 37-ZZ rout. Remembering the heart-breaking defeat sustained at Ludlow last year, the Elks opened things with a rush that put the Giants far into the rear during the first two periods and gave Ridgway a 23-9 lead. McCloskey, Niedzwecki, Weston and Starner were scoring all kinds of shots. A beautiful piece of team work was shown by the Maroons in the last stanza. Three short double-deckers were sent through the hoop in less than a minute of play. The straight and St. Marys coming to town in a few days to vie for the league leader- ship. A record-breaking crowd and a record-breaking issue l ! l A HEARTBREAKER! The Saddest Words of Tongue or Pen, It Might Have Been. Yes, Ridgway might have better still, would have defeated St. Marys on the Centennial Court if their foul tries would have clicked. But that's another story and our great rivals pulled the game out of 73 gt..- 1930 X E the fire in the dying moments of the hectic struggle on Dauer's overhead toss while near the foul line. Manifesting a strong brand of teamwork and gaining what seemed to be a command- ing lead in the first three stages of the battle, the Maroons faltered in the final session and the Flying Dutchmen promptly spurted to eke out a Z3-22 triumph over the Elks. The fourth period opened with Ridgway in the van of a 20-14 count through McCloskey s deadly heaves. McCloskey played a brilliant all-around game for Ridgway. EASY The Ridgway High cagers encountered little opposition from johnsonburg in their first meeting of the season and readily chalked up a 27-11 decision. The Elks' chief vexa- tion at the start was finding the range of the basket but Mercer and VVeston soon rained enough counters into the loop to place the game on ice. Mercer accounted for nine mark- ers while Weston added eight to the score. THINGS WILL HAPPEN. The Maroons had to resort to a second half drive to insure a 24-13 victory over the Mt. jewett High Magicians on the local court. The opening sixteen minutes of play saw the Elks advance the leather sphere into many scoring positions but their shots would not register. Mt. jewett clung doggedly to Ridgway's heels during this time and were but a nose behind at the half, The score stood 10-9. With Claude johnson locating the rim a11d the R. H. S. defense functioning, the Magicians were forced to drop back during the second half. Bradford's great victory over St. Marys left the Maroons, Oilers and Dutch in a dead- lock for the leadership. It's still anybody's pennant. HERE'S A WAY T0 MASTER A HURRl-KANE ! Presenting the stiffest defense they have flashed this season, combined with a fast, smooth-working offense, the Ridgway Elks administered a 26-ll beating on the Kane Wolves in their own den, one snappy night in February. The defeat was one of the worst the Wolves have suffered from a Ridgway team while playing on their home court. The Maroon defense was so tight that the Hilltoppers were only able to collect three field goals, two in the third chapter and one in the finale. The Ridgway boys looked like champions in this melee and demonstrated their ability to hold a top rung position in the league race. Captain Niedzwecki broke away from Kane's guard on four occasions to dribble up to the hoop and tally. THE NARROWEST OF MARGINS! Ridgway High's crucial test for championship honors miscarried in the home of the Sheffield Wolverine and resulted in a heart-throbbing 31-30 decision for the Tanners. With two and a half-minutes remaining and Sheffield in front of a 31-20 score, the Maroons were suddenly fired with such lofty ambitions and deadly maneuvers that the Wolverines were left gasping under an annihilating succession of field baskets that almost bombarded their comfortable lead into smothereens and was only stopped by the volumnous sound of the timekeeper's whistle. A grand opportunity was lost. The defeat can be traced to the careless defensive tac- tics of the Elks. William McCloskey's excellent floor work in addition to his fourteen markers proved a big factor in Ridgway's game. WHAT! ANOTHER The pennant aspirations of the Ridgway Elks were smote asunder at Bradford when Colosimo and Company handed the Maroons the short end of a 28-21 score. Ray Two Points Colosimo, Bradford's shooting wizard, and George Wilcox combined their scor- ing efforts to count twenty-five points between them to conquer the invading Ridgwayites. The contest was fairly close with the Paigemen holding a slight edge throughout. The Oilers however, did not reveal any invincible basketball but used their chances to good advantage on more occasions than the Elks. Clever shooting by Weston and McCloskey put Ridgway within three points of their opponents at half time. The scoreboard read 16-13. Colosimo rang up nine points to pro- tect Bradford's margin in the final half of the battle. SLAYING THE GIANTS! Our Maroon basketeers swung out of the losing rut by trouncing the Ludlow Giants on the Centennial Court to the tune of 33-18. Neat pass work coupled with good shooting 74 1950 1 . . Av X. , 1 ff gave the Elks a 24-2 mastery at the half-way mark. Ludlow was having trouble penetrat- ing the local's defense. The visitors rallied somewhat after the opening of the third period and when Coach Timmons injected most of the second team into the fray during the night-cap round, the Giants gained a little of their lost ground. 5VIcCloskey and Weston contributed twelve and ten points respectively to the winning tota . NUMBER FOUR! The Flying Dutch once more finished ahead of Ridgway's herd of Elk to cop a hard fought 15-11 decision over their county seat rivals. The fighting Maroons outplayed their heavier opponents the majority of the time but their inability to make their shots count cost them an important triumph. The Elks penetrated St. Marys' defense on numerous occasions to work the leather sphere into easy scoring positions but failed almost contin- uously in their attempts. After trailing 6-2 at the half post, Ridgway came to life in the third session and out- scored the Dutch 9-5 to take a slight lead, 11-10. McCloskey and Niedzwecki were doing the heavy work. The Maroon scoring activities became dormant in the closing period for several short shots were missed while Bloch dropped in two field goals for the Dutch mid-court and add- ed a foul to lead his team to victory. Niedzwecki's elusive dribbling constantly worried the Saints and found him breaking away from their guards time after time and if he would have gotten an even break, he would have downed them single-handed. ROUGHNESS GALOREI The Ridgway High cagers encountered rough and tough opposition at johnsonburg but after waging a hard battle came through in the final two quarters to down the danger- ous foe under a 35-28 score. ,lohnsonburg jumped into an early lead but soon found it melting under a heavy barrage of pointers by the Maroons. The half ended 18-15 in Ridg- way's favor. The final drive was a nip and tuck affair all the way. The Fighting Maroon, however, broke loose in the final eight minutes that carried them over a rocky road to victory. McCloskey and Weston again played a great game for R. H. S. A FINISHING WELL. . The Elks retained their third place position in the league race by displaying their own bag of tricks before the Mt. Jewett Magicians who could not solve them and thus had to be content with a 27-14 setback. McCloskey and Niedzwecki carried the brunt of attack and counted twenty-one points for the evening. Ridgway's superiority was never in doubt. FAREWELLI The Ridgway High basketball team brought its season to a successful close by defeat- ing Kane High on the local court, 27-23. Incidently, it was Kane's sixth consecutive loss to the Maroons in the last three years. The Elks forged to the front during the opening quarter but as the game went on, the Wolves made a real bid for victory by smatting the count on five different occasions during the final stanzas. Luty, substituting for Mercer, in the last minutes of the game, took a difficult pass from McCloskey to sink the winning basket and place his team in the lead, 24-22. Niedzwecki and McCloskey clinched things further by a double-counter and a foul respectively. McCloskey and Niedzwecki were outstanding performers for the Maroons. Ridgway 1-ligh's 1929-1930 record shows fifteen victories and eight losses. R. H. S. Opponent R. H. S. Opponent Score Score Score Score 25 ....... . ....... ..........

However, Miss XVhelan's pro- teges were steadily improving in general play and teamwork that they finish- ed up with a record of Fave triumphs out of their last six encounters. They flashed their best form of the year against the fast Kane High girls on the Centennial Court.
